Pinto Cam Pulley Removal

Is there anything i should know about removing the cam pulleys on a pinto EFi engine, i am borrowing a gear puller from work over the weekend, so i don't want to get stuck half way through the job

Is it worth putting some WD40 on all the gears tonight to let the soak in?

Should come off OK it is located by a Woodruff key so watch out and don't lose it!

Mine came off with a light tap from behind using a block of wood - certainly didn't need a puller. It's not an interference fit, so it should be easy to remove. As mentioned don't lose and of the bits.

The ONLY pulley on a pinto that is EVER tight is the bottom pulley on a pinto Injection. For that one only, you will need a puller. (easily identified because it has a double V for twin drive belts.)





Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.
